A bright, compact studio set on the second floor of an attractive Victorian block, just 200–300m from the coastal walk. The open-plan reception benefits from three rear windows and a raised sleeping platform with storage and a small study area beneath — a clever use of the small 408 sq ft footprint.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. It currently offers a strong advertised gross yield of around 9% and is close to Bournemouth town centre, public transport links and local amenities. Council Tax is low (Band A), and broadband and mobile signal are reported as good.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold studio: service charge runs to about £1,400 per year (paid in two instalments) and there are approximately 85–108 years remaining on the lease in the supplied information. The flat is a walk-up to the second floor and has no central heating system — electric heaters are assumed. The building’s cavity walls are likely uninsulated and the area records above-average crime levels.
For someone seeking a low-maintenance coastal pied-à-terre or an entry-level investment near the beach, this studio delivers location and rental potential, but requires acceptance of modest space, periodic service charges, and some energy/comfort compromises due to lack of a heating system.
